[CurSedVoyce]

Just got my 75 feet of True Blue today
Smoking deal from the ebay guy. Just had to go out and play with it in a blue oak

 

[Mr. Sir]

I just made a down payment on a brand new Spiderlift!

 

[sotc]

drop ship it to my place, ill break it in for ya

 

[brendonv]

Hot damn!

Is it the 50' er? Have you talked to Kaoman about his?

 

[Jonseredbred]

Here is the spiderlift I would be interested in to do tree work.

Seems like the best of both worlds.

The new A70TD-46kV from Man & Material Lift Engineering combines the accessibility of a Spider Lift with the safety of a 46kV unit. It is ideal for utility work and tree maintenance around power lines.

Features include:

Stowed with 34.5
Landscape friendly tracks
Kubota diesel power
78 foot working height, 35 foot side reach
Display panel at platform & ground
Electrically
Insulated Features:

5 foot fiberglass boom tip
Fiberglass bucket
Radio Controls
Non-conductive hydraulic hoses
A92.2 46kV ANSI "Rating"

 

[Mr. Sir]

What's the price on that?

 

[Jonseredbred]

I dunno, I know I cant afford it so I didn't check.

In my eyes if you want a spiderlift, this one is the cat's ass.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice!

Got an orchard ladder today and a big shot head (already have poles from a pole pruner).

ALMOST bought a GRCS but I really shouldn't right now. Haven't really needed one either. ...Soon though....

 

[squisher]

...Soon though....

I know the feeling.

 

[stehansen]

Cool Brett. I've rented one a couple of times but it was a lot smaller than yours.

 

[Wagnaw]

Here's the yard signs I picked up. And I finally found new boots. I forgot how stiff new boot are, but I got these things 60% off.

 

[SkwerI]

Nice signs and boots, Andrew. I have a similar pair of Asolo boots that are light and comfortable, but I had one problem with them. They developed lumps or 'bubbles' inside the toe box after about 4-5 months which made them too uncomfortable to wear. I parked them for a while but a couple months ago I was determined to make them wearable again. I pulled out the insole then attacked the bubbles with a razor knife from the inside. The bubbles were full of SAND! I used the blower nozzle on the air compressor to blow out as much sand as I could and I've been wearing them ever since with no more issues. The insides are slightly shredded in the toe area but no more sand bubbles!

 

[Wagnaw]

Sand bubbles!?! Weird... then again, you do live in Florida.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice signs Andrew. They look really sharp

 

[brendonv]

Nice signs, I always forget to put mine up.

Where'd ya get the boots?

 

[arborworks1]

Do tell on the boots. Good looking signs, You should put one by Bivys house

 

[lumberjack]

How much did the signs set you back? I've been thinking about investing.

 

[bergsteiger]

I've got those Asolo Titans too, but they really aren't comfortable for me with spikes. Other than that I like them.

 

[MasterBlaster]

these things 60% off.

Still on? Gotta link?

Do it, The signs are the best form of advertising, I payed around 15 bucks per when I got a few last year.

They draw in around 3 to 4 grand worth of work per month during the summer. Got to get some made up for my stumper now.

[Wagnaw]

I got em from Sierra trading post. ...last pair of size 12s!

And, I was going to put a sign by the Shell Station John passes, just to remind him of who gets all the real work around here.

Nice, I'll sure have to look into that.

 

[Wagnaw]

I got mine for 9.00 a piece, color, double sided. Hopefully worth it... I haven't seen people use them around here really, so I'm hoping they don't come off as tacky.
